Figured I'd post up my side business that I started a while ago with a buddy of mine.

We decided to create a t-shirt company using inspiration from some of our favorite shows on tv/radio; Ancient Aliens and Coast to Coast AM. We love to think up conspiracy theories/legends/etc and put an alien spin on them.

My buddy is a phenoimal artist and draws up our ideas and I turn them into digital images. I created our site from scratch, and I like to think it turned out pretty sweet.

I'd love to hear your opinion or any ideas you might have!

Our site is Alien Apparel Mods I know I'm not a vendor, so feel free to lock this if its not allowed.

yup. We've looked at doing some screen press work, but we like the image quality and detail better with our high resolution images.

No, we use a heat transfer medium that you print onto using a CLC style printer. The process is a little different for a light colored vs a dark colored shirt, but its the same result.

I'd definately do that, however, I dont own the site and I'd have to make sure the owners dont mind me making a profit off their name.
